logons port, Intflcwa, Navy Is Sorry pti At Snip Pier Apologizes for Incident in "Which Marine Guards Kept Families From Greeting Veterans ALA.MEDA, The Navy apologized 'today for i dockside incident in which Marine guards pulled an Army wife from the arms of her husband and prevented angry families from greeting homecoming Korean veterans. The iV.at.ives hooted and scuffled wifh the husky Marine military policemen Monday until the Navy finally allowed them to meet Ihe returning troops, but not before one shipload of men was hustled off the dock before the eyes of disappointed parents, wives and sweethearts. Cmdr. Robert Farrington. executive officer at Alameda Naval Air Station on San Francisco Bay, said "there certainly was no intent on the Navy's part to keep returning veterans and their families apart." The Army likewise denied any such intention.

Farrington promised the incident will be investigated. The crowd had gathered Monday to await arrival of the Navy transports Henrico with 1,037 sol- the Lcnawee with 1,303 Army men and the Begor with 75. The relatives had come from all parts of the country. The first ship to arrive, the Henrico, docked at 8:20. About 50 Marine MP's lined up and held back the astonished relatives while the returnees filed off the ship and into waiting buses and a ferryboat.

They were going to Camp Stoneman for processing and further As Ihe other returnees began leaving the Lenawee, the crowd surged through one line of Marines but was stopped by a second line. MP's held them, but not before Mrs. Evelyn Brewer of Danville, 111., embraced her husband, Pvt. Joseph A. Brewer.

Mrs. Brewer was carrying her daughter Joanne, whom the father had never seen. The embrace lasted only a moment. Three MP's pulled the couple apart and took Mrs. Brewer back to the line.

Tiie crowd hooted and jerred at tiie MP's action. Finally, the lines were removed and the families were allowed to greet the remaining soldiers. "How about cried the families of men already aboard buses and the ferryboat. The Navy called out the names of the men whose families awaited them over a portable loudspeaker. A few despairing families already had left for Camp was all a mistake," the Navy said.

Arabs Stone U.S. Airmen FAMILY REUNITED AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS RABAT, Morocco French police reported Monday that American servicemen stationed at U. S. bomber bases in Morocco were stoned during the night by angry Arabs in Ihe wake the French ouster of nationalistic Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Youssef. The were reported as anti-French resentment in this tense North African protectorate flared up in sabotage and threats of violence.

The French authorities here said two carloads of Americans returning to the big airbase at Nouaeeur were pelted with building 'stones. Windshields of both cars were shattered, French police said. The drivers, however, managed to speed through the barrage of stones and escape. There were "no substantial injuries" the French report said, and the attackers were not identified in the darkness. i French reports also told of increased sabotage and demonstra- I lions.

The lightning move in which i the sultan was removed had caught anti-French nationalist groups by surprise and their resistance to the French action apparently is only now beginning to be organized. The French were hastily prepar- infi new democratic reforms in cc ,1. hope of staving off serious violence. 5e5slo aT VVQITOn The Casablanca-Algiers express was derailed during the night by saboteurs, killing two persons and injuring 12 among the train's 200 passengers.
